The 8-year old from Bethel is battling B-cell leukemia for the second time. She was first diagnosed in October 2012 and was on the road to recovery.

This October she was taken to the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital and has spent almost all of her time there since.

"All I want is to get out of here,” Hailey said.

Instead of Christmas colors, Hailey’s room is decorated in navy blue, white, silver and red for the Patriots. She said the biggest wish on Christmas list is to meet her favorite player, Tom Brady.

“If I ever met him, I’d excitedly pass out and faint,” she said.

Her obsession with the team has been shared hundreds of times on social media. Thousands of friends, family and strangers are supporting her wish and following her progress on “Hailey’s Journey Our Journey” https://www.facebook.com/haileys.journey?fref=ts.

"We were just having fun with it and then everybody on Hailey's page (and they're from all over the place) have done amazing things to try and reach out to him,” said Hailey’s mother, Tabaitha Steward.

Hailey started watching the Patriots with her mom when she was first diagnosed. What started as a way to keep Hailey’s mind off treatment has turned into her favorite hobby.

"The last game, they had a close win. They almost lost. And my eyes were straight open and they never blinked,” Hailey said.

Hailey keeps an eye out for Brady in the news and said one of her favorite stories about him is when he dressed up as a turkey to scare his children and then shared the video online.

When asked what she would do if Tom Brady walked through her door in a turkey costume, Hailey said, "Another turkey surprise? I'll be ready for that!"

A representative for the Patriots was contacted and said he will be reaching out to the family.
